∙ 12y agoIn almost every case you have to put the cation (positively charged ion) first. In the case of water the H has a charge of +1. The oxygen has a charge of -2. Therefore we must name water with H first.

2HO has 2 moles Hydrogen and 2 moles oxygen.
The 2 in H2O is usually a subscript which corresponds only to the element/ion before it, in this case, H.
The 2 in 2HO is called a numerical coefficient which corresponds to the whole compound after it.
